A few days later, the other side of the story was told. Kind of. Seated next to university president Kirk Schulz, Kansas State director of athletics John Currie spoke into a microphone and confidently denied a significant rift between he and former men's basketball coach Frank existed. He looked into cameras and said Jamar Samuels' suspension was the product of a Western Union receipt that somehow made its way from a grocery store trashcan to his desk. He said Martin told him he intended to accept the position at South Carolina before it was offered and that the search to replace him would be inclusive.
